They sure don't make 'em like "Bodyguard" anymore. No. They sure don't.
This tough-as-nails, 1948, Crime/Thriller certainly packed a lot of story into its 62 minute running time.
Containing some really priceless "tough-guy" dialog, "Bodyguard" has no-nonsense actor Lawrence Tierney playing Mike Carter, a real macho-man, L.A. police detective (with a hair-trigger temper) from the Homicide Squad.
When Mike gets bounced off the force for brawling with his superior officer, who is later found dead, he becomes Suspect #1.
Scrambling to clear his name, Carter soon finds himself up against a whole big mess of police corruption.
"Bodyguard", filmed in b&w, is a solid, fast-paced, little B-movie with striking direction from Richard Fleischer.
Nope. They sure don't make 'em like this anymore.
